We finally arrived at the mansion. By the time we got there, Justin was practically depleted of his remaining energy, for he was no longer bouncing around the way he did during the walk.

“Looks like someone is ready for bed,” I said, picking Justin up in my arms, as he gave a yawn.

“No, I’m not sleepy…” he tried to lie.

I chuckled at his attempt to lie, and gently rocked him in my arms. “Sure you aren’t~” I said with a slight tease in my voice, gradually pulling him deeper into slumber.

A throat cleared itself, though not from Justin, nor from Pularis. I lifted my head and saw Ayla looking at me with a small pout. One look at her, and I was reminded of what I did to escape from this mansion.

“Welcome home, Alpha,” Ayla greeted Pularis with a bow. “My deepest apologies for being unable to keep our guest… ‘entertained’.”

“It’s fine. I understand you were put in a difficult spot,” Pularis assured. Though his tone didn’t sound as sympathetic as his words. He slowly approached Ayla, causin

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   Proposition II

    "Be an Alpha candidate for this pack. If it means so much to you that you want to still help everyone here, be their next Alpha. Do that, and you and your son can live a happier life, compared to living in the woods like rogues. That’s not a life for a pup young as he to have, don’t you think?”I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, especially from a councilman. While it was true that the option can both save the Bluemoon Pack and ensure a better life for Justin, I was still hesitant. Particularly considering… “I-I would. Except… that won’t happen. As you may know, I have a criminal record here, now. Even if I were to run for the title, no one would support me. Even if I do have supporters, I doubt they’re any more than Duncan’s, or whoever else may run for the position.”“Only because you were framed, correct? In that case, we clear your name. Find out what truly happened, and reveal the truth to the pack. Simple as that. Of course if you have an alternative idea, let’s hear it.”I a

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   The Visitor

    I was frozen stiff, unable to move a finger, as Pularis continued to inch closer to me. The thought of pushing him away did cross my mind, as did the thought of consequences that would follow had I done so. The latter that most especially left me at a frightened loss, as the Alpha continued to move closer.“Let’s make another thing clear. For as long as I live, no one- not a single mutt- has made a deal with me, without giving their everything to me. And no dog has ever laid hands on what is mine and gets away with it,” he said, as I could feel his hand brushing up my arm.I jumped and shivered from his touch, wanting to get away from him even more, only to hold back when I thought about the consequences from doing so. With how Pularis was towards people who abuse their authority, proved themselves unworthy of their position, I did not want to know what happens to people who go back on their deals with him. All I could do, as he continued to lean closer, was close my eyes, feeling his

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   Can You Help Me?

    Susan's POVI was only trying to find my way to my room, when I walked down the steps to hear Pularis chat with his guest. With my benefactor who saved me from the Bluemoon wolves earlier. More than that, that very benefactor was his grandmother? I could barely see the resemblance between them.“What are you doing there?” Pularis questioned me.“S-Sorry. I didn’t mean to disturb you or anything,” I apologized. “I was just about to make my way to my room when I heard you two talking.”“You’re no bother to us at all, dear,” Patricia assured me. “In fact, you came at a good time. Please, come sit with us. I promise this won’t take long.”I know she was practically lying in that ‘reassurance’. In fact, given how Pularis made me leave her cabin earlier, I could only guess that she would want answers. Particularly about what Justin said earlier. I glanced at Pularis, wondering if I should just leave to my room. Hoping he would give me permission to, rather. To my bafflement, though, he inst

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   Her Bloodline

    Pularis's POVWe watched as Susan took her leave, looking quite happy as she left. Once she was gone, I turned back to Grandmother.“That was awfully kind of you, Grandmother,” I stated.“Whatever do you mean? I believe what I did was more than appropriate,” she retorted. A claim that brought me some confusion.“How do you mean? You have never personally lent an aid to any of our wolves back home, even after you’ve retired from the council. What is it about her that is different from the rest?”When I asked that, Grandmother looked at me with wide eyes, as though I grew an extra head. “Is she not someone special to you?”I was taken aback by the assumption she made. Had it been anyone else, I may very well pull their tongue out for making such a joke. Otherwise ‘demand’ them where they get such idea. My Grandmother, on the other hand…“Where and how did you get that sort of idea?” I could only ask, as calmly as possible. A question that seemed to surprise her somewhat.“Oh? Had I been

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   Meeting the Beta

    Susan's POVAs I walked up the steps to my room, I couldn’t stop the giddy feeling welling up in me. For good reasons, too, considering Patricia’s promise to help me with my wolf. For so long, I had been living more as a human than I would a werewolf. And while I was never belittled by my peers for being ‘wolf-less’, I was often looked down upon because of it. Worse yet, no one has offered to help me figure out why I wasn’t able to awaken my wolf, save for my parents. They who tried to help me awaken my other half, only for nothing to work.This, in turn, led to them feeling guilty for not being able to help me. Even though I never resented them for it. Still, it was incredibly saddening that I was so different from everyone else, in the worst way possible.And now, with the help of a member of the Council of Wolves- even a retired member- it was as though I have finally seen light at the end of an incredibly long and dark tunnel. How else was I supposed to feel, if not happy about th

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   The Raging Alpha

    Duncan's POV"What do you MEAN you just let them go?!" I demanded Spencer and some Hunters, at the top of my lungs right outside my house."Exactly as we said it, Alpha. That guy... Fighting him was suicide," Spencer dared say. He who looked worse for wear, even with his injuries healing up.I, however, was far from pleased hearing such excuse from my Beta. "What exactly do you mean it was suicide?" I demanded again. "That mutt is nothing more than some criminal swine! Against a beta like you- much less a group of Hunters! How could you have let him have his way at you?!"I could see Spencer's face twist and twitch at my demand. No doubt he wanted to say something- most likely some excuse for such failure- but was I going to have it? NO!After I had found out Susan's little brat escaped captivity, with the guards supposed to be watching the little runt taken out somehow, I had mind linked all my Hunters to find that conniving beast. A simple task for a large group. Or so it should've

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   The Unwanted Mind Link

    "Duncan,” another voice cut my mind off in a mind link. One I did not want nor need to hear at this time.“Hello, Father,” I mentally returned. “To what do I owe this little link between us?”“I heard your wife is finally out of prison. Why haven’t you said anything earlier?”I quickly grew disgusted by the question. For after all, if there was one person I could name from the top of my head who favors Susan so, it was unfortunately my own father, the previous Alpha, and the one who practically forced me to marry that bitch.“I did not think it was anything important. Not for you, at least,” I answered, as calmly as I could.“How can this not be important? We are talking about your wife! The woman you married who gave birth to your son, and is my daughter-in-law,” he exclaimed in my head, making it pound from his voice echoing in my mind, as I gradually seethed from his demand. “While I cannot deny that she has done a terrible misdeed for someone of her position, I don’t recall that t

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   Father's Demand

    “Is she with you now?” I heard him ask just then, snapping me out of my rage. “She is with you, right?”“Who do you mean?” I questioned him.“I am certainly not talking about that Omega you keep seeing. And yes, I do know you have been seeing her, more than you should be working on your duties.” My face twitched from the way he referred to Ashley, and what he was insinuating of her.“Ashley is not a burden,” I mentally retorted. “She is only hurt and is trying to recover her strength in the slow natural way possible. She needs my help and support to get through her pain! But of course you wouldn’t know that, would you? Not when you never cared to get to know her for who she is now.”“I know enough about her to know that she will never be the Luna this pack needs. That she will remain being an obstacle between you and what you must do. But of course, I am not contacting you to speak of that. And clearly, there is no use in simply talking to you about your wife. Bring her to me.”I was

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   Preparing the Trial II

    Pularis's POVI stood amongst the many judges and jurors who were summoned for this case in Howler's Inn. If I may dare admit, I was surprised to see the large number of people coming for this from the headquarters. Helpers from their respective packs or general acquaintances who practiced for trials, maybe. But not-“Pularry~ How’s it going, my man?” a werewolf greeted so casually, wrapping an arm around my shoulder, as I sighed at his action.“Anderson… Carefree as per usual, I see,” I groaned, far from pleased to see this wolf. And not just because he annoys me about as much as any foolish werewolf with much ego and arrogance. “And here I thought you would learn to actually behave as any werewolf in your position would by now, councilman.”“What? And be an uptight mutt?” Anderson retorted with a chuckle. “Nice joke there. See? I knew there was a real funny bone in you.”A hand chopped down on his head hard, causing him to fall on his knees, his arm slipped off me, as he held his he

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   Preparing the Trial

    Susan's POVTo say I have become somewhat of a nervous wreck may be an understatement. Given what today was, how could I not be? If anything, I believe it was normal to be nervous on a day like today. The day of Duncan’s trial. The trial that was to determine his fate, his followers, and the very Bluemoon Pack itself.I was more than ready to say my piece of what happened the day of my arrest, and what Duncan has done to me despite my ‘serving my time’ in prison. Of course, whether or not people actually agrees on it was another matter entirely. I may speak the truth to them, and Pularis may vouch for the facts I speak, but what of everyone else? Not all Alphas can see through lies, as proven by Duncan. And though the judges were people sent by the very Council of Wolves themselves, who was to say if these people were reliable? I don’t want to doubt Pularis and his people, but it’s hard to put my trust in people I don’t know. Especially given what I went through.“Are you okay?” Ayla

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   Doubts Formed

    Both I and Ashley were shocked with the decision Father made. Ashley, specifically. "W-Wait! You can't do that!" she exclaimed."Seeing as this was bought under the Alpha's name, and what its properties are, I will be doing exactly that. If you have anyone to blame, it is only the two of you. You with your everlasting greed, and you…” Father stopped as he laid eyes on me. The disappointment clear on his face. “I should’ve made my last task as Alpha to change how Alphas are to be selected in this pack.” When those words left his mouth, something in me felt empty. Heavy, that made me lower my head in shame. Father said nothing else after that, and left the room."W-Wait! Father!" Ashley cried out, before turning to me. "Duncan, don't just be silent! W-We have to stop him!"I didn’t know if it was because I was still feeling that shame, but hearing Ashley say that? Something sounded a little suspicious, especially with how she was acting."Why? When that is only poison? What use would

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   Identity of the Drug

    Duncan's POVI sat in the living room, my head down in disbelief from everything that happened in a span of a few hours just a little earlier. What have I seen? What did I witness? If it was a miracle, I much rather it be that than... Than whatever else that was revealed.It was one thing that Ashley- the love of my life who had been poisoned by that slut mutt, Susan- recover from the ailment that made her suffer. Find the strength in her that helped her take down that bitch that was beating her so. In fact, for all I know, that must be what happened. And everything else- every word said that was making me think otherwise- were nothing but lies in the end. All that was 'revealed' were nothing but fabrications. Tales that were being told differently than what the action truly showed."ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!" Or so I would have preferred it, if my father was not sitting across from me on the sofa, presenting me and Ashley with the package set on the table between us. The package was

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   A Slightly Warm Feeling

    I looked up at Pularis in stupor. What was he trying to tell me?“S-Sorry, I think I got a little woozy there, Alpha. I could’ve sworn I’m hearing you tell me that I will be fully healed if my wolf awakens,” I said.“I am saying that.” My bafflement grew at his confirmation. “Now, don’t take my words seriously. I am no healer, and I am not some expert on wolves. The ones with us werewolves, that is. From what I’ve heard of your friend, there hasn’t been quite a case of an illness similar to yours in any medical records or books she knew of. Or am I wrong?”I was not a doctor myself, but from what I knew, Pularis was not wrong. Even Caitlyn said so, and hoped that his pack would know something about my condition that is not known in the Bluemoon pack.“I don’t know much about the role, you were born into the role of Werewolf Priestess, it is possible that there are plenty of differences about you compared to other werewolves, just as there is a difference between an Alpha werewolf and

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   Soon, I Will Be Free

    I was just closing my eyes when I heard light knocking at my door, marking me open them again. ‘Who’s at my door this time?’ I wondered.“Yes?”“It’s me. Mind if I come in?”“Alpha Pularis? Uh, sure. You can come in.”Once I gave him permission, the door opened, and my soon-to-be new Alpha entered. “Apologies for suddenly leaving. Had matters to take care of,” he said.“Would they have to do with Duncan and Ashley?” Pularis gave me an odd look when I asked that. “I was told by Miss Patricia.”He sighed at the response. “I thought I smelled her scent earlier,” he muttered, before turning back to me. “To answer your question, yes. Yes, it does have to do with those two.” He then stopped for a moment, looking me over. “You mind sitting up? I need to talk to you about something important.”Curiosity washed over me when he said that. “Yeah, I’ll try.” I was about to sit up, only to be reminded of how painful it was even adjusting myself on the bed. Unlike before, though, Pularis quickly to

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   The News of the Illness Reveal

    "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. What? I’m sorry, what? Huh? Ashley was what?”Those were the only things I could say after what Patricia revealed to me. News I never thought I would ever hear from… Well, anywhere. Nor did I think it to be that possible.“Like I said, child. That ‘Ashley’ girl has her lies exposed. The ‘illness’ she was said to be harboring was nothing more than a fake. A lie. An act. All with the right prop to use.”I was still in stupor, hearing that again. Replaying it in my head, even. This whole time, like Duncan and many others, I had thought she was truly affected by whatever aftermath that position had inflicted onto her. Now I’m hearing that there was no such thing? It was all nothing but some sick act Ashley had put on? But, that made no sense.“How could she have faked her illness this whole time? We’re not talking about ‘days’, but ‘years’. Even if Duncan was that blind to his love for her, he had to be sharp enough to realize the difference between fake and

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   Catching Up Again

    Susan's POVI couldn’t sleep at all. I wasn’t sure if it was because I had already ‘slept’ enough that I didn’t need any more sleep, or if it was because I was starting to be conscious of the state of my body that I was not comfortable sleeping. I didn’t know which one it was, but I just couldn’t sleep.‘I wonder if I’m allowed to take any walks in the mansion. Or at least in my room. I don’t think I can sleep otherwise,’ I thought.I slowly tried to sit up from bed, though had some difficulties in doing so. My body was feeling quite sore, which made it a little tough for me to move. It especially hurts when I put pressure on some of my worst, bandaged injuries. That is, the bite and claw marks, according to Caitlyn.Eventually, instead of getting out of bed, I settled only for readjusting myself on it, and looked around the room.“I should’ve asked for a book to read or something,” I muttered.A knock was heard at the door, surprising me a bit.“Who is it?” I asked.“It’s me, dear.

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   Not So Ill

    Time almost seemed to have frozen by the action. Not for me or my people, who know that punch did nothing to my Beta. For the Bluemoon wolves who thought that woman was so sickly, on the other hand- particularly a certain disgraceful Alpha...“Still believe her to be some flower to be protected?” Dingo questioned his son, who looked on in disbelief.“T-That… that’s just… an act! Yeah, that’s all that was!” the welp claimed, actually succeeding in baffling me that time, as several others were. “I know Ashley. She has a condition! She’s not able to cause any sort of harm on anything! That bitch of a werewolf only pretended that punch did anything to her! There’s no way Ashley actually-!”“You saw her take that Beta’s kick, and clearly that didn’t kill her as it would’ve any other sickly,” Dingo reminded him. “Moreover, as we saw, you claimed earlier her recovery is not like that of an average werewolf’s. Well, you may as well be right, seeing as she has recovered from her injuries faste
